CesiumAstro’s next frontier is the factory floor
Its radios can change their instructions in orbit. Now CesiumAstro is taking on a harder terrestrial problem: turning adaptable space hardware into a repeatable manufacturing business.
mmTron
mmTron is a Redwood City, California semiconductor company that designs high-performance millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs). Founded in 2020 by Seyed Tabatabaei and Mona Molaasgari, the company builds power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, front-end modules, mixers, switches and wideband distributed amplifiers using GaAs, GaN, InP, SiGe and RFSOI process technologies. Its chips target the linearity, bandwidth and power-efficiency demands of satellite communications, 5G/6G wireless, aerospace and defense radar, and RF instrumentation up to 180 GHz. In April 2026 mmTron closed a $45M Series A led by Maverick Silicon.
Somewear Labs
Somewear Labs builds satellite-powered hardware and a software-defined network that keep defense, government, and emergency-response teams connected when conventional networks fail. Its pocket-sized devices automatically route mission data across mesh radios and satellite links, integrate with tactical systems like ATAK, and serve users from helicopter paramedics and wildland firefighters to U.S. special operators.
